We’re looking forward to our Winter Soiree in December and our new weekly class schedule in January while making time to get upside down!
Our End of Year Sale is Coming!
Keep an eye out for an additional newsletter this month all about our 2026 class schedule, and our end of year sale on passes!
Times are tough for everyone, and household budgeting is becoming more and more difficult, so we’re going to make it as easy as possible for you to be able to schedule and afford your classes at CED next year.
November is Ass Over Head Month!
Each month at Cleveland Eclectic Dance, we focus on a different skill, topic, style of dance, or body part in all of regular classes. For November, we are focusing on getting you inverted. Whether this means work on your pole High V, Straddle Mount for Lyra, Handstand, or getting comfortable in Down Dog is up to you. We’ll be working with each student at their own level, and within their own comfort level, to achieve their goals.
No matter your goals, we are offering a couple of specialty classes to help you on your way.
Featured Classes for the Month
Inverted Crucifix Connections
Wednesdays, Nov 5th-19th 7:15-8:15pm
In Studio Onl
We’re going to make Inverted Crucifix our comfortable homebase and take it from there.
In this three week series we will work on getting into Inverted Crucifix various ways, safe dismounts, and connecting this fundamental move to other moves you already have (plus a few new ones!).
The goal for this series is for Inverted Crucifix to feel as comfortable as your Pole Sit does now. It will be where you come to reset yourself and connect different inverted moves.
Each week of this series builds upon the past, so you must be able to commit to all three classes. Please contact us if you will miss a week.
This class is suitable for pole students level 3 and up. Students must have either an Invert/High V, Reverse Handstand to Inverted Crucifix, or Shooting Star. No need to have all three; we’ll work on the two you don’t have during the series!
This class is $65 or 12 tokens for all three weeks, and is included on all Unlimited Passes.
Pole Assisted Inversions
Tuesday, November 11th 6:45-7:45pm
In Studio Only
Pole Assisted Inversions: ready to flip your world upside down?
Going head over heels can feel a little scary at first, but with the pole as your trusty sidekick, you’ll be building confidence in no time!
Join this special class to learn fun ways to use the pole (and the floor!) to support you as you lift that booty over your noggin.
Let’s get upside down and have a blast while doing it!
This class is open to pole students Level 3 and up.
This class is $21 or 4 tokens, and is included on all Unlimited Passes.
Look, Ma, No Hands: Sit to Layback
Tuesday, November 15th 8:00-9:00pm
In Studio Only
Let go of your ankle and the pole and lay back, but with caution, control, and confidence.
We start work on Straight Leg Sit during your first pole class, but it takes a while to train the sensitive skin of your inner thighs to want to support your body weight, particularly while inverted.
During this class we will explore Figure 4 Layback, Thigh Hang, Ankle Hang, Remi Layback, and Russian Layback. We’ll start out with the corresponding sits for each, discuss muscle engagement, strength training exercises, and how to transition from sit to layback.
This class is appropriate for pole students of all levels, not just Level 4 students that are already working on laybacks! Lisa’s goal is to give you a good foundation in your sits and get you training the weight shift for laybacks so that you master these moves quickly when they come up in your upper level pole classes.
This class is $21 or 4 tokens, and is included on all Unlimited Passes.
Handstand 101
Sunday, November 23rd 1:15-2:15pm
In Studio Only
The first step to being able to achieve a handstand is to understand that you WILL do a handstand….after you have learned the tips and techniques for proper positioning.
Handstands are more than just flipping upside down. Learn all the mechanics. When you take this class, you will learn a variety of exercises at varying comfort levels to achieve proper positioning for a handstand. Even if you do not get a handstand on your first day (not that you are expected to) you will certainly get an amazing workout.
This class is $16 or 3 tokens, and is included on all Unlimited Passes..
